momen'ary fash of lightning showed her
the body of ner husband in the arroyo,
and she, supposing 1t to be but few feet
deep, jumped into it. In the fatal leap
she broke one Of her limbs, and was fesr-
fully bruised. Her screams alarmed
the children, and their lamentations,

ranchmen on this side of the river, who
crossed and gave them all the aid posi-

and the authorities were notified. A
squad of police went to the scene and re-
turned to the town last night with the
body OF the husband, the injured wife and
the orphan children.

At the Theatre.

Count. Countess and Baron Magri, the
famous Lilliputian trio. gave two enter
tainments at Harper's theatre yesterday.
In the afternoon there was very good
audience, but in the evening there were
more seats empty than occupied. The
performance was in the whole satisfac>
tory. Mrs Tom Thumb was the same
sweet, graceful little lady as of yore.
while the Count and his brother are prob
ably the best midget actors that have ever
been upon the stage, the sword contest
between them and the descriptive italian
pantomine sketch THE Poet in Distress
being particularly pleasing. Alex Davis,
the magician, gave some tricks that for
the most part were rather gauzy and
stale As ventrilo9uist he did better.
Tonight the Hyde Specially Company,
one of the best variety shows on the road,
hold the boards. The entertainment
promised is of the Tony Pastor order
such as never fail to please, and as it i.
so long since Rock Island has been giver
an entertainment of this sort, a goot
house may be expected The compan,
comprises some number one stars ant
special artists.

There was marriage ceremony per-
formed yesterday in Davenport, which
was brought about by somewhat peculiar
circumstances. A young man named
William Mercer, of Tiskilwa, Stark coun>
ty. ILL.,, accompanied by his father and
bride-wife, Minnie Maud Ballord, arrived
in the city. The young couple were
cousins, and their mission was to be re-
married. A law prohibiting the marriage
of blood relations and making it criml-
nal offence went into effect in Illinois the
first of last July-on the very day the
young people were married. They were
not aware of the existing circumstances.
bu: when the grand jury of Stark county
indicted the young couple the other day.
they suddenly realizing that something
must be done, came to Davenport
and tried it over. The young man is a
farmer near Tiskilwa, and the rea-
son of the marriage is said to be to
keep property in the family to which
the young lady will fall heir to. So at
least that portion of the story is merce
nary and not in the least romantic. AT
ter being married for keeps, they boarde'
train and returned home safe from tn
pursuit of the minions of the law. or tn
indictments of Stark county's grand jury
